You think the starter is getting cooked and may be causing the starting issues when the truck's warm?Is there supposed to be a heat shield for the starter?

SO this has me thinking I've got sad cable issues, meaning the negative on the battery. I'm going to check my cables after work today to see if that's the culprit. I don't have any other issues or symptoms of bad grounding but it seems plausible to me.I've seen where an engine ground was missing and the negative cable was bolted to just a frame. The truck (late 70s Ford) was killing alternators and having slow cranking when hot. The entire drivetrain was grounded through the driveshaft to the rear end and back up through the parking brake cable. I was surprised that the Neverspark ignition system didn't croak.
